The Guardians: The Swordsman of the Moon

The agreement between Li Huan and Bai Xue.

Talking to Li Huan and Li Zhou Ran made Mo Xian feel a little lighter.

"Xian'er, how did you two get to be at the foot of the mountain? What are you guys doing there?" li Zhou Ran asked after the two finished breakfast.

Mo Xian who was busy mocking Xiao Hei, turned his head.

"Mm, that .. we originally went to the temple to see the magic snow leopard, but we didn't find it."

"Don't find him?" li Zhou Ran asked in surprise.

"It's no wonder Xian'er didn't see it," Li Huan said after laying down the cup. 

"What do you mean, Laogong? Didn't the snow leopard actually inhabit the temple like a tame cat?" ask Li Zhou Ran.

Mo Xian then looked at Li Huan.

"Mm, that's right. But it had been years that the leopard had not been to the temple since the temple elder died."

"Died? When did the old man leave?" li Zhou Ran asked in disbelief.

"That was about ten years ago, no one knew the cause of his death. From the information obtained, he died peacefully in the central hall of the temple in the padmasana position, accompanied by a snow leopard sitting next to him. Since then, the snow leopard has never visited the temple again."

Li Zhou Ran sighed, a little regretful that he could to the point of not knowing about the old man's death. Perhaps it was because of that Mo Xian came across his life and made him not care about any other affairs other than Mo Xian.

Meanwhile Mo Xian nodded.

"Mm, the little girl also said the same thing, about the leopard that no longer visits."

Both of them looked, a little surprised.

"Little girl?" ask Li Zhou Ran.

Mo Xian nodded. "Mn, he's a Snow Dew person, A Xian thinks he's about nine or ten, that kid is very friendly and different from the Snow Dew people in general. He also said that we could see the leopard in-" 

Mo Xian suddenly stopped talking because he remembered something.

"What's wrong?" ask Li Huan.

Mo Xian who seemed to be thinking while bowing his head, raised his head and looked at Li Huan.

"Father, the girl said a strange thing earlier," Mo Xian said.

"What's weird? Was he the one who showed me the foot of the mountain so he could see the magical snow leopard?" Li Huan guessed.

Mo Xian nodded. "Mn, the girl said so, but before A Xian and Gege left, the girl also gave a warning to A Xian."

"Warnings?"

"Mn, the girl said A Xian would be lucky that day, but also unlucky that day and told me to be careful. But how could his words be true, he was like a clairvoyant!" Mo Xian said enthusiastically.

"The girl said I'd be lucky and unlucky. I was lucky to see three leopards and I was unlucky to meet the five undead" he explained to Li Huan and Li Zhou Ran.

The two looked at Mo Xian. Again Mo Xian felt their gazes slightly different, their faces looking anxious and glancing at each other.

Li Zhou Ran regulated his breathing. "Xian'er, what's that girl like?" tanyakanya.

Mo Xian tried to remember. "She's beautiful, white-haired with a melon face and blue eyes, it feels like she's like most kids in Dew Snow city, there's nothing that sets them apart other than her gentle and polite demeanor."

Li Zhou Ran sighed, while Li Huan looked calm giving no response and just sipped on tea. However, Mo Xian could see that Li Huan was only pretending to be calm from Li Huan's trembling hands while holding the cup.

...........................................

Mo Xian stared out the window, snow falling as usual today. Li Huan and Li Zhou Ran went for a thing and left him in the room with Xiao Hei after putting up a barrier.

Li Huan said he would know if Mo Xian came out of the room and he would also know who would enter his room. Therefore Li Zhou Ran had already warned him not to go out anywhere.

Mo Xian sighed, he wanted to visit Wu Jiao Xing and Bai Yue. I wonder if the two of them are okay. However, Mo Xian also did not wish to break his promise to his foster parents to remain silent in the room. 

Mo Xian knew, the situation was not good and the bad guy might still be wandering around outside eyeing him. It would be best, if Mo Xian did not look for trouble and make trouble for others, therefore he chose to go to bed and tried to find a rush by reading some of the books provided in his room.

Meanwhile Li Huan and Li Zhou Ran went to meet Bai Xue at a special place with Wang Xueshi.

"You guys really came," Bai Xue said as she saw Li Huan, Li Zhou Ran and Wang Xueshi walk into the room.

Li Huan saw Bai Xue was not alone in the room, there was Bai Yue and Bai Ruo who were also present in the room. As they promised when they were at the foot of the mountain yesterday. Li Huan wanted to hold a secret meeting after clearing the scene yesterday and removing any trace of their enemies' bones.

"Please let the Master and Madam sit down and make you as comfortable as possible" Bai Xue said.

The atmosphere was a little tense for Li Zhou Ran, but the woman remained seated beside her husband.

Li Huan sighed and looked at Bai Xue. "I guess we don't have to mince words and get straight to the point. Do you really obey what you say or not?"

Bai Xue laughed. "Hahaha, I might be known as a cruel and callous person, but I am also not a person who has no empathy at all. You can ask the two of them directly, have they spread the story about what happened yesterday or not?"

Li Huan and Li Zhou Ran looked directly at Bai Yue and Bai Ruo.

"I swear on my name and my sister that we didn't say anything" Bai Yue explained calmly.

Li Huan sighed, feeling a little calm. "Thank you for your cooperation. Now let's talk about a deal. What do you want from the Peacock Alliance?"

"Is that all you want? Don't make jokes by betraying us later." Li Zhou Ran said with a sarcastic tone.

Bai Xue smiled. "Mrs Li didn't have to worry about it. I always kept my word and so did my students. However, it is true, there are other conditions that I want."

Li Zhou Ran held back his annoyance by squeezing his skirt while biting his lips, looking at Bai Xue furiously.

"You!"

Li Huan calmed down by holding his wife's hand before looking at Bai Xue.

"What conditions?"

Bai Xue smiled again. 

"Of course, I want to know what's going on. Who they are, what spells they use and where they come from. Did the Peacock Alliance finally meet a heavy enemy? If the Peacock Alliance is having trouble, our Eternal Snow Dew plains do not mind helping."

"You're asking too much!" Li Zhou Ran said angrily.

Li Huan squeezed his hand. Li Zhou Ran looked at him in disbelief and Li Huan shook his head as a sign for Li Zhou Ran for him to stop.

"If you don't want to tell me what happened, it doesn't matter. Then our agreement need not continue, without even the Peacock Alliance, our Eternal Snow Dew can also take back our Bingham Moshu and we do not need to cover up the events of yesterday."

Hearing him, Li Huan and Li Zhou Ran became worried. While Wang Xueshi was still paying attention for not knowing what was going on, he would occasionally give Bai Yue and Bai Ruo an eye code, asking about what was going on, but the two young men ignored him.

Li Huan squeezed his wife's hand and rubbed it as a form of affection to calm her down. Li Huan then looked at Bai Xue. Although Li Huan was a little worried, but he knew Bai Xue's stubborn nature and did not give up easily. Curious about what was going on with his family, Li Huan could make sure there was something on Bai Xue's head. He only hoped that Bai Xue was not the one who would take the chance in his predicament.

"All right, I'll tell you. I also wish you could give me a helping hand."

Li Huan then told her about how the blood spell mask first appeared one year ago and re-appeared yesterday. Li Huan also said about the difference in their abilities. 

"So these people are after Young Master Mo because he is your son?" bai Xue asked a little doubtfully.

Li Huan nodded his head.

"Unfortunately, this mantra ...." Li Huan pointed at the mask that was in front of them. "The Peacock Alliance has not been able to get any information about it."

Bai Xue tapped on the table with her index finger, seemingly thinking for a moment.

"Then isn't your son's life in danger? Their ability to control corpses is really troublesome, if your members do not say that the source of the problem is in the mask, maybe we will fight until morning," Bai Xue said in the end. "Ah, right. How can your members know that the source of the problem is in the mask. Is he conscious and can he be questioned now?"

"Until this moment he was still unconscious, his cultivation level was slightly disturbed but he was fine. I've already given him Hongbaoshi and Bai Xin, he'll recover soon."

Bai Xue chuckled. "You're really paying attention to your members."

Li Huan smiled, but did not respond.

"Then, how are you gonna deal with this?" asked Bai Xue.

Li Huan looked at Bai Xue seriously. "That's it, I'm still thinking about it. But I think Master Bai Xue can help me," he said later.

Li Zhou Ran also looked serious, she was already waiting for her husband to say that.

Bai Xue laughed lightly. "How can I help you? I did say I would help you, but after hearing your explanation, the situation looks strange and I think I can't help you other than to hide this matter."

"Xian'er said he met a Snow Dew guy who could spell it out." Li Zhou Ran said impatiently.

Bai Xue, Bai Yue and Bai Ruo were shocked to hear that.

"What does Mrs Li mean?"

"Xian'er said he met a girl who said Xian'er would be lucky but also unlucky that day. That day, Xian'er saw three leopards and met the undead. Tell me who is this girl?"

Bai Xue who from earlier looked relaxed became tense, she seemed to think for a moment.

"Where did your son meet that girl? What's the girl like?" bai Xue asked who looked hurried.

Seeing his reaction, Li Huan sighed. "Do you know anything about this?"

"Jawab first my question."

"Xian'er says the girl is about nine to ten years old with a melon face, looks the same as the snow dew people in general, but the fight is different. Xian'er said the girl was being gentle and polite. The girl also warned Xian'er to be careful. Doesn't that mean this girl knew something wasn't going to happen to my son?"

Bai Xue was silent for a moment, she could not respond, but she had something on her mind.

"Master Bai Xue, do you know anything about this girl. If you know about this girl, I'd like to meet her and talk to her." 

Bai Xue did not reply for a long time, making everyone wait in a tense atmosphere.

"It seems I know about him, but to be able to meet him, it doesn't seem easy."
